A family in Pincher Creek is mourning after the sudden death of 27-year-old Tanner Sinclair. He was found by his neighbor fighting for his life and lying on the ground in a neighbourhood in Whitehorse, Yukon. He was concious when he was taken to the Whitehorse General Hospital, but later died of his injuries.
Whitehorse RCMP have issued an arrest warrant for 32-year-old Michael Macpherson in connection with the stabbing death of Sinclair. Macpherson is wanted for second-degree murder in Sinclair’s death.
Police say Macpherson has connections in British Columbia and Saskatchewan and could be headed out of town.
Macpherson is described as a Caucasian male, 5’10”, 220 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. Police say he could be driving either a 2002 Brown/Gold Cadillac Escalade with Yukon plate HHS50. or an older red Honda Civic with several dents and missing the driver’s sidedoor handle.
Sinclair is an avid hunter and a quiet family man with a 3-year-old daughter and another child on the way. Global News spoke with his uncle Owen Sinclair.
“We always hear it is somewhere else, but when it’s close to home it rocks the whole family.”
RCMP say Macpherson is considered armed and dangerous. They ask anyone who spots him or his vehicles not to approach, but to call 911 or the Whitehorse RCMP complaint line at 667-5555.
